If you’re thinking of checking out other places aside from the overrated beaches this summer, then Mag-Aso Falls is your perfect destination. Located in Sitio Dug-anon, Barangay Oringao, Kabankalan City; it is only a two-hour car ride from Bacolod City.

Get drenched in the powder blue water coming from the unsoiled and enchanting place of Mag-Aso Falls. This body of water can be likened to Cambugahay Falls in Siquijor where it allures the travellers of its bewildering aura.

As you arrive in the resort, you are welcomed with this stony backdrop in the entrance.

Inside is a manmade pool filled with fresh water originating from the falls where you can enjoy swimming next to the cottages. This is ideal for children to swim since the water in the falls can be deep and dangerous for them if left unattended.

When getting into the falls, you will pass by the nipa huts where you can spend the night here.

If you want security, then you can reserve the room for overnight only at a minimum fee.

On the edge of the path there is a staircase and you have to descend to about 150 steps going into the falls.

On the ground, there lies a viewing deck where you can take pictures as the featured falls become your perfect background.

Behind the viewing deck, there is a mini pond of powder blue water wherein you can swim or climb on the huge log connecting the two sides of the area.

Walking into the falls, you can feel the cool summer breeze as the temperature gently drops. Just by getting your picture next to the falls, you get little tingles as the frosty mist touches your skin and add glitters to your eyes as you watch the breathtaking scrim.

Mag-Aso falls will never fail to amaze you. With its near location and cheap expense, you get so much more than you can ask for. So take a dip and enjoy another beautiful place in Negros.

So beautiful! I would love to go here. I’m headed to Boracay this summer but reading this post makes me realize how many other amazing destinations there are in the Philippines! Clearly I need to plan another very extended trip and do some serious exploring!

Hi,I can’t connect to the cell number (+63 928 594 6275) that you provided.Tried to call the landline ( mayor’s office) but the personnel who answered my call also gave me that cell number. Do you have any numbers to suggest? I really really love to go to that place. Please please. much thanks. 🙂

hello! i’m sorry. that’s the only contact i have. you can go there directly as you can just pay for the entrance and enter the falls without hustle and no need for reservations unless you want to stay and sleep in 🙂
